Summary

Foster Elementary in Kingwood, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 343 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Humble Independent School District (Isd), with a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.3:1 that suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention.

Foster Elementary has shown a strong recovery after a recent dip, climbing from a low point in 2023-2024 to a solid 60th percentile statewide ranking in 2025-2026. The school’s academic profile reveals a clear strength in reading, where students consistently meet or exceed district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade (72.58% proficient). However, math is a significant area of concern, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates falling well below both district and state averages. A standout feature is the school’s exceptional performance for special education students, who ranked in the 76th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. Additionally, 5th graders consistently outperform peers in both reading and science, suggesting strong upper-grade instruction.

Compared to nearby schools, Foster Elementary offers a clear advantage over options in the New Caney Independent School District (Isd), such as Porter Elementary, Brookwood Forest Elementary, and Kings Manor Elementary, which serve higher poverty populations and are in a lower-performing district. However, within Humble ISD, Foster is surrounded by top-tier schools like Bear Branch Elementary (91st percentile) and Deerwood Elementary (89th percentile), making it the lowest-ranked among its immediate neighbors. The school also faces a challenge in closing the achievement gap for its economically disadvantaged students, who perform at the 39th percentile, compared to a school like Greentree Elementary with a lower poverty rate and higher overall rank.
